A white picket fence welcomes you to this rambler style home with a daylight basement. Situated at the center of growing local communities like Leschi, and the ever-thriving Central District. Walk to parks, bistros, cafes, restaurants, and beyond. The home is sited perfectly on a spacious flat lot with large sun drenched front and back yards perfect for gardening & entertainment. This Seattle charmer has been updated with what matters, new roof, AC, fully fenced yard, and ideal floor plan. The light-filled living room offers a fireplace and hardwood floor that flows into the dining room and eat-in kitchen. Large bedrooms, garage with brand new garage door opener, and private driveway. Opportunity to build an ADU with own access. Fabulous!
